Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would make satisfactory provision for foul drainage, with particular regard to the effect on the environment
The effect of the proposed development on land stability

What decided it

The absence of sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed private sewage treatment plant would not pose an unacceptable risk of water pollution to the adjacent ditch and River Roach, combined with unclear maintenance arrangements for the shared system.

The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm from the unacceptable risk of water pollution arising from inadequate foul drainage provision.
